The ball game at the fair grounds Sun
day afternoon was a rather one-sided af-
fair, the 18th infantry club being defeated
by the score of I9 to A.. The military nine
was seriously crippled by the absence of
Capt. Hall and four other members Of the
regular team. The Red Stockings hit
Lilly, the soldier pitcher, quite literally,
while for several innings the puzzling
curves of ~Rapp and Williams sent the
Fort Russell boys to the field without a
run. In the sixth inning one of Rapp's
drops disabled Lucid, the crack catcher
for the Red Stockings, and he was sent
into the field, while Rapp took his place
behind the bat and Tom Williams occu,
pied the box for the remainder of the
game.

IN JAIL AGAIN.
Margaret Henne Creates a Disturbance
Last Night.

Old Mag Henne is in Jail again. This
time charged with creating a disturbance.
The immediate cause of the bellicose &C.
tions of the procuress is a trifing misun-
derstanding about the 500 cash bond
which she conGdingly but unwisely placed
in the hands OF Marshal Schnitger last
week. Yesterday her attorney demanded
that the money be returned, but the Off
clal, acting upon the advice of the city
attorney, refused to yield, saying that he
would credit that sun upon an old ac.
count of $l0S incurred six or eight months
ago.
The female fossil was driven to desper-
alton. For a time it was feared hat her
magnificent two-bit intellect was rocking
too and fro on its ten cent throne. To a
soulless and superstitious designation house
proprietress, who knows we'll that every
dollar which comes into her possession
bears a well-merited curse, 800 is enough
to cause her to adopt extreme measures.
At II O'Clock last night this foul
mouthed and lying old bag called upon
Major Riner, and in a screeohy voice de
manded "her money" adding hat she
did not propose to be robbed" His
honor replied that it grieved him greatly
to announce that he was compelled by
virtue of his ofico to veto the return of
anything to which the city had a color of
title.
Mag was exasperated. She executed
a war dance upon the mayors doorstep,
and declared that she would camp there
all night. Nh. Riner submitted a propo
sition whereby the matter might be arbi-
trated by suggesting that she return to
her beautiful west end Celtic cottage. The
visitor was obdurate, however, and
his homer telephoned to the central sta
ton and requested that an officer be de-
tailed to remove the nuisance. About
ten minutes later Miss Hlnne was occu-
ping the downy couch which comprises
the furniture of the woman's department
in the city jail.
A LEADER reporter who happened to
be about interviewed the back number
who says that ''the boys won't let her
sleep at night" She positively asserted
that she was not drunk and stated that
she had simply called upon Mayor Riner
to consult him upon business matters.
To show that this journal is unbiased
these statements are given for what they
are worth with the assurance that the
woman's reputation for truth and varacity-
Is quoted at about three cents on the
dollar.

VISITING THE WILD WEST.
MIR. ]. C. WInn Says That the Cowboys
are Disguised.

j. q. Winn, of the Powder River Cat
tie company, returned from London Sun
day evening. While in his native village
Mr.. Vim visited Buffalo Bills Wild West
show, and was entertained by Bison Will
liam himself, Jim Kid, Tommy Duffy
and Cherokee, all OF whom are well
known in this city, having resided here
at various times.
The cowboys, so they informed Mr..
VIM, we're thoroughly disguised with
the mother country. New York was
bad enough" said Jim Kid. but Lon
don is worse than Greeley"
you see hat old man and his family
over there" said Cherokee Bill, who
formerly rode bronchos for Hon. NJ. E.
Post. Mr.. VIM intiinated that he still
retained possession of his eyesight, and
Bill continued: He has been here every
day from morning until night since the
show opened; and / could show you five
hundred others who patronize the show
with equal regularity"
Dave Miller, who was among those
listening to Mr.. Winn's account of the
visit suggested that perhaps the regular
customers were collecting material for
books upon America, while Frank Kemp
thought some of the people had lost
friends or relatives in the new world and
were seeking for their murderers among
the cowboys. Tommy Duffy, who
formerly drove stage on the Cheyenne &
Black Hills line, holds the lines over the
six mules attached to the famous Dead
wood coach" while So per week Indians
kill the 81 passengers. Many of the
horses ridden by the cowboys bear Wyo-
ming brands and browsed on the p~rairies
of this territory before atfording amuse-
ment for the citizens of "Lunnon.'.
The show is an immense success. 1t
occupies thirty acres OF ground near the
center of London, and having more room
than when in New York, gives better per
formances. Cody and Nate Salisbury,
his partner in the venture, are making
extensive preparations to establish
branches of the Wild West show in Paris
and Rome.

THE GRAND LODGE.
The Territorial Knights of Pythias
Meet III RawlIns To-day.

The Grand Lodge of Wyoming, Knights
of Pythia-, which commences its annual
session at Rawlins to day is among the
youngest of the grand lodges of the order
in the United States, having been organ
lied at Cheyenne, August % and 25, 1884,
the various lodges of this territory having
prior to that time, been under thu. jurisdic-
ton of the grand lodge of Colorado or
directly under the control of the supreme
lodge of the world. There were then in
the territory six lodges with an aggregate
membership of $50 active members. The
first lodge in this territory was the old
Rocky Mountain lodge No. l, now sue
ceeded by Cheyenne lodge No. 2.
The order of Knights of Pythias is it
self among the youngest of all the secret
societies, having been initiated by the
organization of Washington lodge No. l,
at the city of Washington on the 10Th of
February, 1864, and its founder, j. 81.
Rathbone, is still living and taking an
active part in the affairs of the order.
Alter three years the entire member
ship of the order was but 379. To-day,
however it numbers forty-seven grand
lodges, 2.7l4 subordinate lodges, $50 Sec
lions of the endowment rank and 425
divisions OF the uniform rank. Two hun
dred and eighty-six new subordinate
lodges were added to the general roster
during the year ended last May ~increas-
ing the membership nearly II, ZOO. The
endowment rank represents an insurance
of $55, 00O, 900, and during the ten years
of its existence has paid benefits to the
amount Of more than 81, 900. 900. The
total membership of the order to-day is
200, 600.
At Rawlins, the Grand Lodge of this
territory is the guest of Rawlins Lodge
No. 4, and a rather elaborate programme
of entertainment has been planned to oc
cupy the time not taken up with the bus-
mess of the session.
To-day, in addition to the session, there
will be a parade of the visiting knights
and past chancellors and divisions of the
Uniform rank, an interesting feature of
which will be the awarding of a prize
banner to the largest attending division of
the Uniform rank, and a set of officers
shoulder knots to the second best repre-
sentation. 1t is generally conceded that
these prizes will go to Evanston and Rock
Springs, other divisions not being able on
so short a notice to put a full quota in
the line.
Cheyenne's delegation departed for
Rawlins on last nights train, with the
exception of a number who will leave this
evening. In the party were VIM. R.
Schnitger, E. A. Slack, G, N. Potter,
Frank II. Clark, Edward Kapp and M.
G. Barkwell. The number would be
much larger but for the weeks attrac-
tions in Colorado's capital.

A PLUcKY WOMAN.
Mrs. Coleman shoots at a Troublesome
Tramp.

The individual who attempted to enter
Mrs. Coleman's residence in the West
End about l:30 o'clock this morning will
probably not repeat his call at an early
date.
10 say that he was warmly received is
putting it mildly. His greeting was some
what similar to the welcome usually ex-
tended a Chicago policeman or an Ameri.
can citizen by a patriotic and freedom
adoring meeting of anarchists.
The man raped at her door and was
mildly told to decamp. He again applied
for admission and was ordered to leave or
accept the alternative of giving the coro
nor a job, and in the meantime Mrs.
Coleman walked to another room and Sc
cured a revolver, which she keeps for use
in case of emergency.
As the tramp or drunken prowler was
about to force an entrance the lady fred
through the door, and an instant later
threw it open. The man had fallen, but
was loon upon his feet and running.
Mrs. Coleman fired two more shots at his
fleeing figure and observed him fall and
rise again.
The police were soon upon the scene
but could find no trace of the marauder
10 the tall weeds and grass. AS Mrs.
Coleman is a good shot she believes that
the man was hit, but no blood was found
by the searchers.

Monthly Union Meetings.

The pastors of the Congregational,
Presbyterian and Methodist Episcopal
churches had a short business meeting
yesterday morning. They decided that
union services shall be held in one of three
churches the first Sunday in every Month
for several months.
The first meeting will be held in the
Congregational church Sunday October 2,
upon which occasion Rev Williams will
deliver a discourse upon christianity
and Science"
These services will be attended with a
great deal of interest. Each pastor will
choose his own subject, and church goers
may anticipate hearing exceptionally fine
discourses at these union meetings.

A jolly Party.

Yesterday was the anniversary of Sam
Browns birth. Sam is foreman at
Hesth's city market and has as many
friends as any man Of his age in the city.
Last night a host of them swarmed to
his residence to celebrate the suspicious
anniversary. Sam and Mrs Brown were
ready for them and the evening proved to
be one OF rollicking joy to everybody
present.
